0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website www.csr-in-deutschland.de is an official German government portal dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, policies, and practices in Germany. It is managed by the Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales (Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs) and serves as a comprehensive resource for businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in CSR. The site offers detailed navigation covering CSR basics, policy frameworks, sector-specific information, reporting standards, and CSR awards. It supports multiple language options including easy language and sign language, enhancing accessibility. Technically, the website is built using a government-specific CMS called Government Site Builder, employing modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript modules. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies were not found in the provided HTML content, which is a compliance gap. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs) but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. WHOIS data is minimal and lacks detailed registrant information, but the presence of official government branding and partner domains supports legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the content is fully accessible. Overall, the website is a trustworthy, professional government resource with good content quality and business credibility. Improvements are recommended in privacy policy transparency, cookie consent mechanisms, and security header implementation to enhance compliance and security posture.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The CSR website is positioned as the authoritative government source for CSR information in Germany, backed by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Its competitive advantage lies in official endorsement, comprehensive content, and accessibility features. The business model is informational and supportive, targeting businesses of all sizes, policymakers, and CSR stakeholders. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government service. The partnership ecosystem includes the ministry's official domain bmas.de. The site reflects strategic government efforts to promote CSR awareness and compliance in the German market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no detected blocking or WAF interference. However, the absence of security headers, explicit security policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces transparency for responsible reporting. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard security headers and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file.
  4. Include clear contact information such as official emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update the technical stack to ensure no vulnerable libraries or outdated components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a government-specific CMS 'Government Site Builder' with modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript ES modules. The site is well-structured with responsive design and accessibility features such as language options for easy language and sign language. Performance is moderate, likely due to the comprehensive content and government hosting infrastructure. No third-party analytics or marketing scripts were detected, indicating minimal tracking. The hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not explicitly available from the provided data. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of explicit security policies.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
